"I desire no consolation that would deprive me of contrition, nor do I aspire to any contemplation that might lead me to pride. For not all that is high is holy, nor all that is pleasant, good; nor all that is dear to us pleasing to God." - Thomas á Kempis

"At the day of judgement, we shall not be asked what we have read, but what we have done; not how eloquently we have spoken, but how holy we have lived." - Thomas á Kempis

"Let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up... that the broken heart is the healed heart... that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess all... that the valley is the place of vision." - The Valley of Vision, Arthur Bennet.

I'm about to go on the greatest adventure of my life.

Can't sleep, because in 5 sleeps I'm getting married to the most incredible woman I've ever met. The excitement is real. Don't know what to do with myself. Psalm 118:23-24 'This was the Lord's doing; it is marvelous… instagram.com/p/B5BaehzpXeF/…

10 days until I marry my best friend. @aimzkirbz ♥️

Two weeks until Amy and I make promises that are impossible to keep, because we serve and represent the God who makes the impossible possible. I never knew that anything could feel so right. I can't wait for us to love and serve each other as husband and wife @aimzkirbz <3

Monday nights are for the boys. Pizza and Risk, with all your honour on the line. Grateful for a year spent living with 5 other incredible men, laughing, learning, being challenged and encouraged. Healthy, happy, holy fun.

Home <3 Grateful to live and learn to listen here. "His voice was like the sound of rushing waters" - Ezekiel 43:2

EY rated #1 most attractive employer for business grads out of the Big 4 for 4 years running, and 2nd most attractive employer for business grads worldwide. Also only Big 4 firm in the Worlds Best Workplaces at #7. Grateful to have started my working journey in this community.

One of the many things I love about working for @EY_Africa @EY_Advisory - diverse teams of passionate people across hundreds of different fields, all coordinating to make a better working world. From drone tech to volunteering strategies, financial services to HR, all on one team

So much to be grateful for, wow. Work: complex problems with glorious solutions. Cape Town: We have seagulls and sea breeze and mountains and forests. Church: An incredible community of dreamers and actioners. Fiancée: A love that wipes away shame and lets you take on the world.

Excited to get the chance today to wrestle with social security system designs, healthcare legislation, implementation of low cost benefit options, national health insurance, demarcation, the medical schemes amendment act... Time to be challenged!

One of the aspects that I'm most grateful for is the syllabus's constant recognition of the real issues in our country caused by an incredibly unequal and broken healthcare system - both public and private. And its constant push towards possible solutions.

Today I write my final board exam for the Actuarial Society of South Africa - the F201 Healthcare Specialist Application exam. What an incredible learning journey and opportunity.

Grateful to be able to live out this adventure of following my God with my girl by my side. Grateful for the opportunity to be her cheerleader as she does the same.
